Banded Oct 30, 2009



Recommended Posts

I began my journey on Oct 30, 2009.

I have lost 25 lbs since starting the medifast diet 2 weeks before surgery.

I am 55 years old and have been over weight since I was 20 years old. I have diabetes.

I live in Wa state and I am a Mom and Grandma.

Hi Linda,

I, also, was banded on Oct. 30. I haven't lost a lot of weight since my banding. But, I have lost 46 lbs since my pre-op diet started back in April. I was one of the folks that had to diet for 6 months before my insurance company would approve me. Nice to meet you. I am happy to have another person banded on the same day as me to take this venture and new life turn with. Please feel free to contact me whenever you want to talk. Karen:thumbup:

Thanks for the welcome ladies.

It is nice to meet someone on the same day! That's very cool.

I go for my first fill tomorrow. Hoping it's not painful.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
